Evaluating the Intensity of Muscle Contraction by Near‐Infrared Spectroscopy, a Potential Application for Scaling Muscle Spasm

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
Near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) offers a novel, non‐invasive method to assess muscle spasticity. By measuring the Tissue Oxygenation Index (TOI) during different levels of muscle contraction, this study explores the feasibility of NIRS as an objective tool for spasticity evaluation.

Ceftriaxone concentration at the surgical site following systemic and isolated upper limb injection

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2018
Background and Aims: This study was conducted to find out the equipotent dose of isolated upper limb injection of ceftriaxone in the upper limb (IUL) surgeries under tourniquet that would attain a peak bone marrow concentration (Cmax) similar to systemic

Higher bone cement volume in total knee arthroplasty lowers the risk of postoperative radiolucent lines

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose >The aim of this multicenter study was to analyze the potential impact of patient demographics and cementation technique towards the development of radiolucent lines (RLLs) in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It was hypothesized that cementation techniques, including higher cement volume, double‐layer cementation technique and ...

Potential for contamination of tourniquets during peripheral venipuncture: a scoping review protocol

Revista de Enfermagem Referência, 2018
Background : The tourniquet should be placed above the venipuncture site, thus promoting venous distension. Given its characteristics and use in clinical practice, tourniquets can be a source of microbial contamination. However, the results of scientific

Functional alignment in robotic‐assisted total knee arthroplasty for valgus deformity achieves safe coronal alignment and excellent short‐term outcomes

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Functional alignment (FA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) prioritizes soft tissue balancing and anatomical restoration without systematic correction to neutral alignment. Most studies have focused on varus deformity, with little evidence available about FA in valgus deformity. The hypothesis of the present study was that FA in robotic‐

Using Tourniquets to Stop Bleeding.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2017
How Do I Put a Tourniquet On? Tourniquets can be made out of any available material. For example, you can use a bandage, strip of cloth, or even a t-shirt. The material should be at least 2 to 3 inches wide. The material should also overlap itself. Using

Potential Risk of Cross-Infection by Tourniquets: A Need for Effective Control Practices in Pakistan

International Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2014
Background: Tourniquets used repeatedly on patients for blood sampling are a potential source of nosocomial infections. They harbor numerous microorganisms, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Knee muscle strength and movement biomechanics in individuals with and without knee pain after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A cross‐sectional study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Anterior cruciate ligament injury increases the risk of knee osteoarthritis, possibly via early onset of knee pain and changes in musculoskeletal function. This study compared knee muscle strength and movement biomechanics during walking and forward lunge between individuals with and without knee pain after anterior cruciate ligament ...
